(Advance note: I understand this is a controversial subject, but this is an attempt to deal with an almost intractable problem and requires some true risk taking.)

While there are many reasons for African poverty, including corruption, tribalism, and a heavy burden of tropical disease and parasites, one of the main reasons is the low average IQ of Sub-Saharan Africans. The per capita GNP of societies (and, to a large extent, individuals) is tied to the average IQ of its citizens. On the surface, this appears to be an intractable problem, but with an effective, voluntary eugenics program, this problem could be overcome within two generations, while corruption, tribalism, and the disease/parasite issues defy easy solutions.

There is almost no chance of this plan being implemented because it will be seen as patronizing, racist, and tainted by Nazi excesses and other failed eugenics programs of the Twentieth Century. It is also a long-term plan, and not as exciting for Western donors who would rather dig wells, build roads and dam rivers.

Here is the general outline of the plan. Note that this plan would work to raise the IQ of any human population, including high IQ races such as the Japanese (average IQ 105) or Ashkenazi Jews (average IQ 110).
